Excuse me for a few, while I rush off to my next top priority for the day. I get to sit on a conference call that will entail 59 minutes and 48 seconds of really excruciatingly dull banter on a collection of subjects that can cause oxygen deprivation to the brain, and 12 seconds of me chiming in with No, nothing new here to report, Bob, but thanks for the opportunity to share that with you all... (/thinks to himself, as a follow up, "can I offer a special Kool-Aid blend that will make the whole meeting seem worth it?")

Back in an hour or so to see what you've all come up with.
